Assessment of non-invasive time and frequency atrial fibrillation organization markers with unipolar atrial electrograms.

abstract：:The effects of mechanical stimulation on hemodynamics, such as due to mechanotransduction in vascular endothelial cells, have been widely discussed recently. We previously proposed a resonance model in which the arterial system is treated as a pressure-transmitting system, and suggested that the application of externa...
